Will this griddle work on a ceramic cooktop ? Does the base is flat or scratchy ?

I have a glass cook top and have no problem with scratching. The pan stays flat at higher temps. I love it.

It's not totally flat, it does have small ridges on the bottom. I use it on my flat top electric stove and it works good.

We use ours on the ceramic stove top without issue, it's not perfectly flat as it has 3 ridged circles but they do not seem to present an issue associated with ceramics. The top opening could be gotten into with a very small hand but most likely not, it is however large enough for any common scrub brush.

The bottom of this pan is flat and I would think it would work fine on a ceramic top but I would be careful not to slide it on the top as it would likely scratch it. The Lodge web site says they can be used on any cooking surface except a microwave.

The pot is 4-1/2 " high, base is 5 3/4 " wide at the bottom and 7 1/2" wide at the top. The bottom is completely smooth .Works on my glass ceramic cooktop.

Yes. I have a ceramic-top stove and have had no problem with scratching. I like the pan. It is very shallow but I like it.

My answer would be no, it is not flat. I returned this product upon receipt because it was warped. I bought the Ecolution Artistry 11 inch griddle in August 2013 and am quite pleased with it. Although the griddle is very slightly bowed in the middle (enough to slightly spread raw eggs to the edge), I think it is flat enough so as NOT to scratch your cooktop. My research showed that any griddle will be bowed very slightly due to the manufacturing process. I do hope this helps.

I have the GE Profile ceramic top and decided not to use it. The bottom is grooved and would easily scratch your surface. I took it to a vacation home and use it happily on my gas range top.

I have a new ceramic flat-top electric stove and the manual says DO NOT use glass cookware on this type of stove. It will scratch the surface.

To be perfectly honest, we've never used the base as a griddle; only used the entire unit as a slow cooker/crockpot. We think it works great as crockpot.

Bottom is flat but it will not work on conduction cook top. If a magnet won't stick to it it will not work on a conduction cook top.

Yes, the bottom is flat. It's big, though. Diameter is 12.5" across the bottom, and the largest element on my ceramic cooktop is 9.5" across. However, the pan conducts heat very well, so the size in the end was not an issue for me. Hope this helps.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

Yes, I believe it's safe to use this griddle on an induction cooktop. This griddle has no abrasive surfaces that would cause any scratches. Since an induction cooktop quickly heats, just be extremely careful not to overheat it - which may cause it to warp. http://www.tefal.com.au/All+Products/Cookware/Jamie+Oliver/Products/Jamie+Oliver+Tefal+Hard+Anodised+Induction/Jamie+Oliver+Tefal+Professional+Series.htm

Hello Zoe, It is cast iron and should work well. I am installing my induction cooktop next week and will try it to make sure. I have used my Lodge griddle for several years with my Viking gas range top and hopeful it will work without a hiccup on the induction as well. You should be careful to only lift to place on your cooktop as cast iron can be rough enough to scratch.

Yes, I have a ceramic cook top and I use the waxy cleaner that polishes and helps prevent scratching and I'm careful to pick up and set down when I need to move the cast iron ware. If you slide it around, you'll scratch up the glass surface. I've been using the cast iron for the whole 3 years I've had the cook top and it still looks new.
